CHAPTER XXVI

In the spring of the thirty-third year of Emperor Jun, after the rebellion of the four kings such as King Yuanqing, the royal capital had already restored order. Emperor Jun convened the last time the court meeting, and Ji Yuchen, the son of King Rui, personally handed over the jade seal of the country to the new emperor at the enthronement ceremony. After the ceremony, he moved to Shangyang Palace with the Queen Mother Mo Yining, and the moon collapsed and died, and the whole country mourned. Ji Yuchen ordered the court to mourn, Ji Fengxuan gave marriage to the prince of Nan Chen, and the wedding ceremony was held a year later; the ministers saw that the new emperor's harem was empty, although there was a year of filial piety, they couldn't help but calculate, and were busy cultivating the daughter of the family, so that they could be filled into the new emperor's harem to become a family help after a year.

Ji Yuchen suddenly encountered such a change when he first ascended the throne, and he was also in a hurry while keeping filial piety and handling political affairs. Fortunately, after many years of travel, he has accumulated a lot of reputation among the people, and the people's hearts are quite stable; a few courtiers who delayed their affairs were dealt with by him in a thunderous manner, and they were replaced by new people, and there was no dissent in the court. For the meritorious prince of the Three Kingdoms, he was rewarded a lot, so that Zhao Shuo, the son of Dongyan, also led the Shaofu order and was in charge of finance, and the patriarch of the Jiang clan was his assistant, and the Jiang family began to step into the royal capital and enter the political center of Dayue. In addition to the commander of the horses, the prince of Nanchen was also given the title of Lang Zhong, who was in charge of the royal guards, and the prince of Xiyue, Mo Zilan, was crowned as the chief farmer and was in charge of the country's agricultural affairs. At this point, Ji Yuchen opened the precedent of Dayue and allowed the princes to enter the royal capital to participate in political affairs. King Rui once asked about this matter, and Ji Yuchen only replied: If I don't even dare to rule these people, how can I talk about governing the country? King Rui couldn't help but sigh.

Han Fang refused the reward and quietly went to Jiayuguan.

In Jiayu Pass, Mo Ziling glanced at the wooden box brought back by Jiang Qianhan, which was Mo Ziyan's eyes, and after throwing the wooden box out of the window, he asked, "Can you place Wanniang?"

Jiang Qianhan replied: "I have reported my death to the main hall and placed it in Mr. Han's place." ”

After gently bowing his head, Mo Ziling looked at Jiang Qianhan and said, "I heard that the Jiang family has entered the royal capital Shaofu, so you can get up and go back to the royal capital on the same day." ”

Jiang Qianhan shook his head: "There are a lot of people in the Jiang clan, and there are many people to choose from Shaofu." I want to do things by your side, and my husband will be iron-blooded in this life!"

He looked at him silently for a long time and bowed his head slightly. Seeing her acquiescence, Jiang Qianhan's cold face couldn't help but smile, and turned around and went out to settle down.

Mo Ziling paced to the map, looking at Weicheng and silently thinking about the strategy of taking the city.

In the palace of Dongyan Wang, Zhao Yu said to Jiang Zhiluo, who was sitting at the bottom: "You are capable! Fortunately, Shuo'er was stable, but he remained in the royal capital and became a Shaofu order, and the new emperor was so courageous. ”

Jiang Zhiluo smiled softly and replied: "It's still the husband's discernment, knowing that the new emperor can have this reward." Father is still angry?"

After snorting, Zhao Yu said: "This time it's your luck! Go down and pack your luggage and prepare to go to the royal capital, Shuo'er still needs you to take care of it." The words fell and remembered something, and then said: "I am afraid that the new emperor is not very concerned about the prince of Xiyue, you take the mandarin to the royal capital with you, and get acquainted with the new emperor in advance, I can't say that you can get the favor of the new emperor when you enter the palace a year later, and you can also help Shuo'er." ”

Seeing that the old man was so knowledgeable, Jiang Zhiluo smiled and said a few more flattering words before going down to clean up.

The city of the king of Nanchen is also full of joy, the king of Nanchen is proud of his son to be able to marry the emperor, and can also add the order of Lang Zhong; during the state funeral, he can not hold a banquet to celebrate, and he must not make the ministers make more hymns, and present them to the royal capital to show loyalty to the new emperor.

Xiyue Wangcheng, Mo Shining was noncommittal to Mo Zilan for being crowned the Great Sima, and only went to the main hall a few more times to warm up the soft words of the queen Xuanyuan's family;

In the Qingxi Palace, Mo Ziyan didn't know how many times he stumbled and smashed the objects placed in the hall, and Mrs. Yu couldn't help but hug him and comfort him bitterly. However, he said that Wu Shilang learned that Mo Ziyan was robbed of his eyes, so he did not dare to withdraw from his relatives, and only sent a letter to his clan relative Wu Meng, telling him not to act according to the original plan, and to be born on an errand under Mo Ziling's account, in order to get the blue eyes of the prince.

Mo Ziyao couldn't help but be suspicious when she heard that the nurse in the Moli Hall had died of illness, and went to the Moli Hall to find out the truth. Sneaking into the courtyard, I saw a person lying on the couch in the main hall, his face was similar to Mo Zilan's, he was terminally ill, and there was a palace maid sent by the queen next to him to serve. After carefully studying the man on the sickbed for a long time, he left and rushed to Qingxi Palace.

Before he stepped into the Qingxi Palace, he heard Mozi Yan's hysterical roar, and couldn't help frowning and turning back to the Caiwei Palace. After pacing in the hall for a long time, he wrote a letter and passed it to Murong Lie.

Han Fang rushed to Jiayuguan a few days later, just in time for Mo Ziling and the generals to agree to send 30,000 troops to Weicheng; I had long thought of recapturing Weicheng, but I was worried that there was no one to defend Jiayu Pass; when Han Fang arrived at this time, he stayed in Jiayu Pass to defend, and he led 30,000 soldiers and horses straight to Weicheng, and Jiang Qianhan was on his side.

When they arrived outside Weicheng, they were shocked to see thick smoke billowing over Weicheng, the city gate was wide open, and no one guarded it. Hurriedly entering the city, I saw that the city had become a purgatory on earth, full of corpses, and the fire on the ruins of the broken wall was gradually extinguished; only a few women and children cried with the corpses of their relatives and asked to find that the Beiqiang people had slaughtered the city half a day ago.

Mo Ziling's face was as pale as frost, and he ordered the city to be cleaned up, and Jiang Qianhan hurriedly transferred the shops around the Jiang family to transport grain and grass. He walked to the palace in the city, and ordered the guards to send a message to the Xiyue Wangcheng to know. Halfway through, I saw a teenage girl, dressed in rags and covered with black ash, struggling to carry the corpse of her family to the nearby fire. Standing down and watching her kneel in front of the fire and kowtow after she finished moving, Mo Ziling walked up to her and asked, "What's your name?"

The child got up and looked at her, and when he saw her wearing a battle robe and armor, he asked in a dumb voice, "Are you a general?" Seeing Mo Ziling nodding, he walked to her and knelt down: "Weicheng Li Yan, the family is ruined, and you want to join the army, I beg the general to take you in!"

Helped Li Yan up and looked at her quietly for a while, the child had not yet grown, and his face was covered with black and gray, but he could also see that he was beautiful and beautiful, thinking that his family was good. Mo Ziling asked lightly: "Women have to endure more hardships than others when they join the army, you may insist?"

Li Yan looked at her solemnly and replied: "Isn't the general also a woman? If the general can do it, I can do it!"

Mo Ziling raised her eyebrows and looked at her and said in a deep voice: "Good eyesight! you will be my personal guard, I promise you: I will destroy the Beiqiang royal family!" After speaking, he turned around and continued to walk towards the mansion, Li Yan knelt down against the fire and kowtowed three times before getting up and chasing.

Soon, Wang Du received the Zhenbei general's recital, learned that Beiqiang slaughtered the city, the court was in an uproar, and all kinds of discussions at the court meeting were endless; Ji Yuchen got up from the throne angrily, and ordered King Rui to supervise the country, and Shaofu ordered Zhao Shuo to prepare grain and grass to prepare for the imperial expedition!
